Beyond Ozempic®.... that name is iconic now. However, there are many other peptides on the market that have been used safely and effectively in the health space, outside of GLP-1 agonists and beyond just weight loss. These peptides are amazing adds to a health regimen and have been used for decades. 

In fact, I use oral peptide therapy in my practice for clients with great results. 

With the heavy and abrupt onset of semaglutide (Ozempic® and others), I had to ask myself, why do I love all other peptides and hate this one? So, I invited my good friend and expert, Nikki Raymond to have an open conversation about this today.

I will be the first to admit that when semaglutide and other GLP-1 agonists hit the market, I was skeptical. Even against it. But then I realized what if it is NOT the peptide I dislike but the misuse of the peptide.
 
This podcast is two parts. 

• Part 1 will be all about peptides; what are the different kinds of peptides? What conditions are they used for? Exactly how do they work in the body? Are they safe?  Nikki Raymond a.k.a NikkiFIT will be my guest today and is an expert in functional nutrition, fitness and yes, peptide therapy. 
• Part 2 we will cover GLP-1 agonist peptides, beyond Ozempic®. The mechanisms of how they work, why these peptides need another look. What may be dangerous about them and how to help those using these peptides? And finally, a few conspiracy theories and thoughts for the health industry. 

If you are a current user of semaglutide or other GLP-1 agonists, you should tune in to learn how to really support your body, what to know about managing this process and eventually the exit strategy you will need.

If you are on the fence about them as a health care professional, tune in.

I'm not advocating for or against any therapies for individuals and this is certainly not medical advice here on this podcast...but more of a discussion and discovery between professionals who walk with these people.
 
At the end of the day, we truly need to have these conversations and stop the shame, game that is associated with weight, weight loss and weight gain. Especially for women. No matter what we do...we are condemned.

This was an amazing conversation.
